I have a user that has full(owner) permission on a publishing site on MOSS 2007. When she tries to create a new page It tells her that access is denied. With her permission level there should be no access denied for her account.

Things I have tried:

Made sure account has every option for permissions on that site. Reapplied her permissions to the owner group.

I have removed her account and re added it to the site.

I have given her different permission levels on top of full.

Duplicated her account and given it the same permissions as her account has and had it work fine.

restarted IIS

The only thing I can think of that I have not tried is to restart the sql and web server to eliminate them as the cause.

It basically means you have her account is a part of other sec-groups listed (denied goup takes precedence over others). Some times user's SID's get corrupt in the domain, that is why the new account worked for you. Make sure her account inherits permissions and she needs to have permisisons on SQL/IIS /SPservices matched as well. When modified, restart all services (SQL/IIS/SPs).

I haven't specifically denied access to this site for any group. It isn't inheriting from the parent site and using the same groups that she is member of allows other users to create pages. The only group she was a member of when this issue began gives full control to the news site.

While it is plausible that her account has become corrupted I have already restarted IIS (and all sharepoint related services on the webserver and SQL server) and have not seen any results.

AVI: It is only new pages(articles) that she cannot create. She can create sites. The News site is a subsite of her school which is a subsite of the district site.
